Some thoughts (Browns at Raiders)

  • Not bad for a Spain-ish person... 😉

    Couple premised questions to add to your thoughts...

    • I don't like WRs returning kickoffs. The only thing I like less are DBs returning Kickoffs. I like RBs who secure the ball and know how and when to take a hit. Why isn't Duke returning kickoffs? Or Chubb?
    • Punts? Different matter... I love a speedy WR who is used to catching in traffic fielding punts, BUT (and it's a really big "but") they have to reliably look the ball in and for now that DQ's Callaway. Maybe Steater here... but I would not be adverse to Duke pulling this duty.
    • Cook was perhaps their biggest, pass-game threat going into the game. Was was Peppers not told, "He's yours, son." Start head up on him in the box, in position for run support, or split out with him, but take him out of their attack.

    More later... maybe...

  • I kept seeing flagrant oline holding by oakland.

    No calls.

    a flagrant block in the back on a return, no call.

    their TE's shove off - no calls.

    Lynch gets mad, kicks the ball downfield - no call.

    how they changed the Browns first down to not a first down- how the hell do you DO that?

    The Browns defensive game plan didn't work - they rarely could get to Carr before he had a wide open outlet pass.

    I don't get that - maybe it's just my fault.

      The Browns receivers drop too many balls. Baker took too many chances.

    The offensive line kept getting run over - bad matchup with our oline and their front seven.

    The Raiders have a whole lot of talent - we had a rookie rb, qb, wr.. and scored a bunch of points.

      A whole lot to build on. 13-2-1 sounds pretty good to me.

    Question - the hit on Njoku - they reversed it to no penalty - but wasn't that "hitting a defenseless receiver" ? or not?

    STATEMENT:

       Chubb sure looked great - he was 3 runs for a freaking 105 yards and TWO touchdowns.

    What was that about him having a "lack of vision" that concerns Tiamsies?🙄 (yes, I had to fix it...)

    I said that about Chubb?

    I know I said it about Crow.

    One of us is confused... and it wasn't me until just now.

    Oh....and the hit on Njoku was legal. It was a good pickup.

    And Hyde's elbow was down with the ball short of the line to gain. I freeze-frame replayed my recording of the game.

  • Way to long to read.  

    2-32-1. Thats all you need to know

    well unless you’re the Haslems

    Wait, sorry, that was Tiamsies. My bad. lol

  • The Browns HAD that first down - and they would then run out the clock.

    naturally, corrupt ref lightning had to strike.

    NFL apology deja-vu all over again.

    I'm glad you cleared that up. 

    And going forward is it a Hyde/Chubb one two punch with Hyde getting a bit more rest throughout the games and season which was what I thought the FO had planned from the start. Duke then becomes more of a passing option and the BROWNS could become a serious ball control and short yardage team in the AFCN....whoa.

    This is still a young bunch and should get stronger ss the season (and opponents) start to wear down,

    Then it's his fault for not stretching to the 1st down marker like good backs do when going down close enough to stretch it out.

    dammit. I feel like going out into the barn and cleaning up the firewood after this game.

    @tour2ma said:

    Fixed it.

    We end up on our own 12.....or fumble the dam thing.  The Raiders take it at the 25.

    Just wanna say - We saw nothing in the review that meant the call of 1st down should be reversed to 'short of the first down'.   -  Thanks NY ref.  Maybe you should stop watching cartoons when you're supposed to be working!

  • now, two more glaring penalties on #20. Boddy-Calhoun. sp?

    what the )(*&^ is with him and holding? On a fair catch?

    and why wasn't lynch kicking the ball a penalty?

  • I kept seeing flagrant oline holding by oakland.

    No calls.

    a flagrant block in the back on a return, no call.

    their TE's shove off - no calls.

    Lynch gets mad, kicks the ball downfield - no call.

    how they changed the Browns first down to not a first down- how the hell do you DO that?

    The Browns defensive game plan didn't work - they rarely could get to Carr before he had a wide open outlet pass.

    I don't get that - maybe it's just my fault.

    I shouted penalty as soon as  Marshawn Lynch kicked that ball especially egregious that it wasn't called as the Raiders scored later on that drive. The refs were terrible but  unfortunately we're still not good enough to overcome that yet .

  • yep.

    Question:

    Does ANYBODY think that the refs would ignore that call if it were a BROWNS player kicking the ball?

    That's why when they were up 14, they should have run it instead of throwing it, I think that was when Baker got strip sacked.

    Then it's his fault for not stretching to the 1st down marker like good backs do when going down close enough to stretch it out.

    Not that they should, but I think they cut Lynch some slack because they blew the call with their quick whistle...

    In his Defense he was targeted in the back of his helmet on the way down to the ground.

    You're welcome...

    And if that's like being taken to the woodshed... then have at it. 😉

    123ypc, he will bump into Forrest Gump with numbers like that...

    LOL, but you got it. I was astonished as I kept seeing 8ypc, 7.7 ypc... in 3rd and 4th quater. I checked now on NFL.com... 20 carries for 130 yards, 6.5 average. That's savage.

    Chubb- three carries for 100+ why didn't we play him more?

    NJokeWho is scary bad

    When he actually catches the ball. Baker hit him in the hands for an easy first down -dropsies. to share the wealth, Callaway had at least three. 

  • yep.

    To not use him once when trying to ice the game was crazy to me

    I think he had 3 total runs. And over 100 yards. Just a simple coaching mistake.
